Cream – Wheels Of Fire (1968)

“The drums are very thumpy. Ginger Baker has a sound that hasn’t been replicated. He was so unique and had such a distinctive personality. Nobody else followed in his footsteps. Everybody tried to be John Bonham and copy his licks, but it’s rare that you hear anybody doing the Ginger Baker thing.

“Fortunately, Ginger’s real personality cannot be replicated. He’s actually a great guy – we get along just fine. We have polo in common. He calls me ‘young man.’ He can call me any damn thing he wants, as long as he doesn’t hit me with his cane.”
